Default Waiting on car..help me out here

I'm sitting here thinking about my car, and how it's been 2 months since I've driven it and heard the BOV. I was reminiscing about the first time I drove it after the supercharger install. Now I'm having everything redone by Laskey Racing (http://laskeyracing.com/shop/s2000.htm also getting my head done). I'm gonna be running a 3.8" pulley on my Vortech, AEM EMS, RC750's, etc. Does anyone else here have a similar setup? I'd like to hear honest opinions on what it's like to drive a car like this. At this point I need it as I have no other toys to play with. Thanks in advance guys.

S/C and turbo are very very different. I own one form and sat in another one.

The wait is worth it...I know I had to wait about 9 months to get my S back...but once I did the wait was all worth it. Whole new car...whole new thrill.

Like Kane said, turbo and sc are different, but i can tell you when I hit boost with my turbo at 450 rwhp, I couldn't keep traction with 1st 2nd 3rd or 4th gears. 5th and 6th gears are the only two usable gears with that much power. Although I believe a sc has the power come on more subtley (is subtley a word?) so you won't have the same surge of power and torque. If you can hook up your tires, you are in for a treat!

Curious, what are you running for rims and tires?

You bring up a really good point. I see you're running 450whp turbo'd...do you think you might back it off a little to make the car more driveable?

I am running the Work VS-XX w/ 255 rubber in back. I think I could fit more but i might rub.

I hit 450 on race gas at 15psi so, I keep it on 11psi w/ 93 octane. This puts me at about 370rwhp and that is quite driveable from 2nd gear onward
